Where did you find the energy to do this?
 
I and nine other guys
are getting ready to celebrate since we predicted a 4-1 win by lakers in this series. We will be the only posters allowed to live, since the deal was you had to pick as if your life depended on it! Unfortunately, that's about all we can celebrate. No good draft pick; no big changes coming, losing hope for Simons and Zach to be stars.........We will still be alive but condemned to a hellish Purgatory!

Bet you're super fun at parties! Sun's coming up tomorrow - there's always hope!
 
I'm hoping for a Disney miracle.

Don't. If Disney scripted this it would run something like this.

Dame convinces Stotts to let him play.
He suffers a career ending injury.
Some stuff happens.
He becomes coach of the worst high school team in Seattle, upsets Roy's team in the finals, and starts a rivalry that lasts for decades.

So I called the lakers getting a sweep. Does a gentleman’s sweep still count?
 


Blazers are so embarrassing. This is why I told ya Lebron/AD would destroy us and make a fool out of us

smh
 
I don't care about this game until we know what's going on with Dame. I hope we win, with or without Dame but the most important thing is our long term.
Yup, I'm pretty checked out of this series. Need Dame healthy longterm and that's all i care about.

Put us out of our misery
